Chapter 4 Rewards
There was a large table of food, and Shen Chuliu looked around and found something she liked.
It would be strange if there weren’t any, there are dozens of dishes.
She didn't try to be too formal when eating, but she didn't let herself go either.
It looks elegant, neat and good-looking.
After the meal, they were sent to wash up.
In the Taiji Hall, there is a special place for concubines to wash and dress, and there are maids serving them.
Shen Chuliu came from a prominent family, so these maids naturally didn't dare to be rude to her just because of her low status.
At this time, Qi Yixiu reviewed some memorials.
After Shen Chuliu finished washing up, he was sent to the bedroom and sat on the dragon bed.
She was wearing a loose beige skirt, just like pajamas.
After waiting for a while, I got bored and lay down on the dragon couch, closing my eyes to rest.
She didn't have to pretend to be so relaxed that she fell asleep. She was really resting her mind.
Hearing the noise at the door, he sat up and went down to the ground: "Your Majesty."
"Well, my beloved, are you sleepy?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Your Majesty, no, I'm just waiting for you and getting anxious, so I just lie down. Let me serve you." Shen Chuliu said.
Qi Yixiu had just washed up, so there was nothing much for him to serve.
After getting on the bed, Qi Yixiu looked at the girl's beautiful hair and praised her for being well-maintained.
Then he hooked his hands around the girl's waist.
Being overwhelmed by the red waves, there was no conversation that night.
Early in the morning, Qi Yixiu, who was about to go to court, woke up and saw the girl sleeping next to him.
He smiled as he thought about last night.
The girls in the Shen family don't know, but they are quite spoiled. But between the beds, each has its own style, and he doesn't hate it.
"Your Majesty." When Shen Chuliu opened his eyes, Qi Yixiu was already changing clothes on the basement.
Four palace maids were serving, and it was still dark outside.
"Awake? I have to go to court. If you are really tired, please sleep for a while." Qi Yixiu said.
Shen Chuliu felt contempt in his heart. If you really wanted to keep me, you wouldn’t have said it so reluctantly.
"It's time for me to pay my respects to the Queen. It's closer if we go through Taiji Hall today." Shen Chuliu stood up as she said this.
Qi Yixiu nodded: "Yeah, very sensible."
When Qi Yixiu left, Shen Chuliu saw him off respectfully.
After seeing him off, Zi Rui came in to serve.
I didn't dare say much, after all, this was not Cuiyunxuan.
After changing into a light purple skirt and combing my hair, it was already daybreak. Although it was still a little early to pay my respects, it was not too late to walk over.
I guess she will be the first to arrive today.
After leaving the Taiji Hall, Zi Rui seemed to be unshaken and said, "I saw that the fourth eunuch sent someone to deliver the reward to us."
The reward after serving the emperor in bed is the rule for new people, and she is not a new person. So it means that the emperor thinks that she served him well? Tsk, this is really provoking hatred.
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu just responded lightly and went towards the Queen's Fengzao Palace.
As expected, she was the first one to arrive at the gate of Fengzao Palace.
When she was welcomed in, she was the only one in the entire hall.
Shen Chuliu whispered, "I'll have to do it countless times in a while."
They all have higher positions than her.
Sure enough, after a while, everyone came one after another, and Shen Chuliu also paid his respects several times.
"Oh, isn't this Shen Baolin? You're here so early? What good rules. I remember that when Concubine Cao served the emperor in the past, she either couldn't come or came the last." Concubine Li smiled and looked at Concubine Cao who had just come in.
Lady Cao came forward to greet him, then sat down and said, "Shen Baolin is from a distinguished family, so this rule is naturally good. I can't compare to him, but Sister Li can."
It is certain that these two people are enemies, and Concubine Cao also mocks Concubine Li for her humble background.
"What are you talking about, sisters?" Concubine Feng and Concubine Yi came in one after another.
They are not late today.
"It's Concubine Shu and Concubine Yi who are here. I was just talking to Sister Jieyushi Li about whether one's birth is good or not and the rules." said Concubine Cao.
Li Jieyu smiled and said, "I am of a poor family background, but now we are all concubines of the emperor. Is there still a difference in family background?"
Concubine Yi smiled and said, "In Lady Cao's eyes, there are naturally differences. People like me who come from a poor background naturally cannot be on the stage."
Lady Cao was stunned and shocked. She only cared about Concubine Li. The family of Concubine Yi was only a sixth-rank official, and she had committed a crime...
"Empress Yi..."
"Okay, it's not a big deal." Concubine Yi smiled and looked at Shen Chuliu: "Shen Baolin, what do you think?"
Shen Chuliu stood up: "Your Highness, Concubine Yi, are you calling me? I was distracted just now and didn't pay attention... It's all my fault."
"Tsk, it turns out that there are no simple people in this harem. I always thought that Shen Baolin was a non-competitive person. Now I know that he was just hiding deeply." Concubine Yi said lightly, but with hints of meaning.
Shen Chuliu smiled again: "Your Majesty is right. After entering the palace, everyone wants to be favored. I am not talented and have no ability. It is my blessing that the emperor is willing to favor me."
"This Shen Baolin is quite sharp-tongued. I think he is a good person." Concubine Feng smiled.
At this time, He Xiuyi and Song Xiurong came.
The place became even more lively when they arrived, and He Xiuyi was a chatterbox.
It was Shen Chuliu who slept with me yesterday, it would have been strange if she didn't say a few words.
Sure enough, "Shen Baolin looks refreshed today. The person serving him in the bedchamber is different. Lady Cao is already pregnant. When will you make any move?"
Shen Chuliu thought to herself that she had kept you idle for so long that one day she would definitely blame you for your bad mouth.
"How can I be as lucky as Concubine Cao and Xiuyi He. It's great to be able to meet the emperor." Shen Chuliu acted shy.
At this time, the queen came out.
The queen has an icy face. She is beautiful, but she is so beautiful that people are afraid to approach her.
"The Empress Dowager's birthday is coming soon. How are your preparations going?" The Queen went straight to the point.
Generally speaking, the Queen Mother is called Empress Dowager, which means Empress Dowager Li, the biological mother of the Emperor and the former virtuous concubine.
But she is called Empress Dowager Feng, that is Empress Dowager Cirui Palace, the Emperor's biological mother and the former queen.
However, people below her would also call Empress Dowager Li Empress Dowager Ci'an because she lived in Ci'an Palace. They would also call Empress Dowager Feng Empress Dowager Ci'rui because she lived in Ci'rui Palace.
Everyone said they were ready.
Concubine Feng Shu smiled and said, "By then, there will be a banquet in Ci'an Palace, which will be very lively. I heard that my aunt has also prepared gifts for the celebration."
"It is a blessing for us that the two Empress Dowagers are in harmony." Concubine Yi smiled.
Everyone followed suit.
Shen Chuliu looked at Concubine Feng Shu and thought that this person was in a high position but was not favored. It must have something to do with her aunt.
After paying their respects, they each left Fengzao Palace.
Someone asked Shen Chuliu out, but she went back, saying she hadn't had breakfast yet.
I really didn’t eat it. The dog emperor wouldn’t let me eat it.
She returned to her own Cuiyunxuan, had a late breakfast, and saw the emperor who rewarded her with a pair of glass earrings.
It is very beautiful.
